Baby Sleep Consultant
Gold Coast

Look for three things: verifiable certification (IACSC is the most respected credential in professional sleep consulting), a track record of verified reviews from real local families, and transparency about their methods. Chantal Murphy is IACSC-certified, holds 375+ verified five-star Google reviews from Australian families, and uses only gentle, no cry-it-out methods. You can book a free 15-minute Discovery Call to ask questions and make sure it's the right fit before booking.

Chantal visits families across the entire Gold Coast LGA — from Coomera, Pimpama and Hope Island in the north, through Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Robina and Varsity Lakes in the centre, to Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, Currumbin and Coolangatta in the south. She also covers hinterland suburbs including Mudgeeraba, Tallai, Tamborine Mountain and Canungra, plus northern NSW suburbs including Tweed Heads and Banora Point.

No — never. The Baby Sleep Magic Method™ is entirely gentle and responsive. Chantal does not use cry-it-out, controlled crying, or extinction-based methods in any form. Every sleep plan is built to protect your baby's emotional security and your attachment relationship, while building sustainable, independent sleep habits. This isn't a compromise on results — 4,000+ families and 375+ five-star reviews are proof that gentle methods work. Learn more about the Method™.

Most Gold Coast families notice meaningful improvement within the first 48 to 72 hours of implementing the plan. Sustainable, consistent sleep typically develops over 2 to 4 weeks as your baby builds new sleep associations and confidence. The 4 weeks of follow-up support included in every consultation is specifically designed to guide you through those weeks — adjusting the plan as your baby responds, and supporting you through any dips or regressions that arise during implementation.

In-home Gold Coast consultations are $499 AUD. This includes Chantal travelling to your home across the Gold Coast LGA, a 2–3 hour in-person visit, a personalised written sleep plan, and 4 weeks of follow-up support via phone, text, email and voice messages — plus 1 month of free access to the Baby Sleep Magic App. Online consultations via video call are $349 AUD with the same comprehensive assessment, written plan and 4 weeks of follow-up included. You can also book a free 15-minute Discovery Call first, with no obligation.

Chantal supports families with babies and children from newborn (0–12 weeks) through to toddlers up to 4 years of age. This covers newborn settling foundations, the 4-month sleep regression and subsequent regressions at 6, 8, 12, 18 months and 2 years, nap transitions including the 2-to-1 nap drop, and toddler bedtime resistance. If you're unsure whether your baby's age or situation is something Chantal works with, book a free Discovery Call and ask.

The in-home consultation involves Chantal travelling to your Gold Coast home for a 2–3 hour visit. She assesses your baby's actual sleep environment, can observe settling behaviours directly, and works hands-on with your family in your space. Many families find this the fastest path to implementation because Chantal can make real-time adjustments based on what she sees. The online consultation is a comprehensive video call — typically 60–90 minutes — covering the same full assessment and producing the same personalised sleep plan. Both include identical 4-week follow-up support. The in-home option suits families who want maximum hands-on support; the online option suits families who prefer flexibility or are outside Chantal's travel area.

Formal sleep training methods are not appropriate for newborns under 12 weeks — their neurological development isn't ready for sleep schedule intervention, and their nutritional needs require responsive feeding. What Chantal does for newborns is build healthy sleep foundations: establishing age-appropriate routines, creating optimal sleep environments, understanding newborn sleep cycles, and introducing gentle settling techniques that support — rather than fight — your newborn's natural biology. These foundations make everything easier once your baby is developmentally ready for more structured sleep support, typically from 3–4 months.

A sleep regression is a period — typically 2 to 4 weeks — where your baby's sleep suddenly worsens after a period of sleeping well. Regressions are linked to developmental milestones and brain growth. The most common ones occur at 4 months, 6 months, 8–10 months, 12 months, 18 months and 2 years. The 4-month regression is the most significant because it involves a permanent neurological change in how your baby cycles through sleep stages. The key to navigating regressions is having strong sleep foundations in place beforehand — which is exactly what the Baby Sleep Magic Method™ is designed to build.
